ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS B. F. Barr Nurseries 
Flowering Shrubs For Any Purpose 
Shrubs are the “decorative furnishings” for the home grounds, and without this important feature 
no home grounds can be complete. In the diversity of their foliage and bloom the possibilities of a 
shrub planting are practically unlimited. 
“Will Grow” Shrubs are sturdy, well-rooted plants with a bushy top of numerous branches. They 
have been nurtured long enough in our nurseries to gain size and vigor, so that they will prove particu- 
larly dependable and desirable. 
How to Plant Shrubs to Obtain Best Results 
Cut the tops back about one-half or one-third before planting. Be careful not to have roots exposed to 
air or sun at any time. 
The important point in planting is to have the hole large enough to accommodate the roots without 
crowding, and to get the soil well worked in among the roots. Space the larger growing Shrubs 4-5 
ft., apart, medium growers, 3-4 ft., low growers, 2-3 ft. 
After planting always water abundantly and apply a mulch to serve as a protective covering.
